    It finally left, I finally picked it up (after opening the previous driver's pay envelope because he sealed the bills as if it was his run...) and I finally made both deliveries with -- SURPRISE -- two more detentions. Walmart isn't the most efficient place, I guess. 4.75 hour wait in one and 2.5 hour wait in the other.

    And -- SURPRISE -- yet another 34-hour reset delay without a load while I wait for a Monday pick.

    Good thing I don't chase miles, isn't it? I'd sure be the loser...

    And my last hometime was the first few days of February. Something's going on and I'm not sure what...

    I have to buy 40 more gallons at Love's to get to Diamond level. Considering I'll be starting Monday, I'll have 4 days to do it. I wonder if I will. Sounds easy enough to do, but I missed it by about that much last month...which ended kind of like this one will.

    We will see.
     
    88 Alpha and 25(2)+2 Thank this.

    Somehow, the Weekenders aren't doing so well in the dispatch arena. I unloaded Friday morning at 0530 and have yet to get the formal dispatch emails for the load I have next. No worries, thou. I'm getting loaded and will soon be on my 265 mile run!

    Don' need no steenking emails...

    I did make the Love's cutoff the day I went on hometime, where I've been for two days. I have to go to the truck tomorrow to see where my next plan will take me. Until then, I'm enjoying the rain...at least it's not snow,
